How to Redact or Hide Sensitive PDF Content
Upload PDF
Select the document containing sensitive information you need to hide.
Select areas
Draw boxes over the text or images you want to hide. Choose Blur, Pixelate, or Cutout independently for each area.
Apply and Save
Preview the result, then use secure download processing to flatten the finished pages before saving.
Chain with Other Tools
Hide selected areas first, then continue to Merge or another tool. Secure processing remains required when you download the workflow.
Why use our Hide Content tool?
Secure Flattened Download
The final download is rasterized so covered source text is not retained as selectable PDF text.
Save Configuration
Export your selected areas and their individual settings to JSON, then re-apply them later.
Clean & Professional
Choose Cutout for a white replacement area, or Blur and Pixelate for softer visual hiding effects.
Instant Preview
Preview how the hidden areas will look before secure download processing.
No Document Upload
Hide confidential information while the PDF remains on your device instead of being sent to our servers.
